Train Service To Resume In New Canaan

NEW CANAAN — The Metro-North New Canaan branch will resume train service Tuesday morning, the Department of Transportation announced.

The New Canaan line, which carries over 2,000 commuters daily, was impaired after Hurricane Sandy last month.

Metro-North staff have since been repairing overhead catenary wires, the railroad signal system and have been clearing the track, according to the DOT.

"The fact that we're able to start running trains again tomorrow after such a significant and damaging storm really is a testament to the dedication of all Metro-North, particularly the workers out in the field putting in the time and labor to get the line back up and running," said Connecticut DOT Commissioner James P. Redeker.
